A South African lady has broken the Guinness World Record after giving birth to ten babies at a go.

The 37-year-old lady identified as Gosiame Thamara Sithole, gave birth to her decuplets.

According to her husband Teboho Tsotetsi, more than two doctors had earlier detected during the medical scans – at a hospital in Pretoria.

A report by Pretoria News and other news outlets, had it that Thamara delivered her seven boys and three girls through a caesarian section in a Pretoria hospital. She is now a mother of 12 as she already has six-year-old twins.

The woman’s pregnancy was completely natural as she was not on any fertility treatment. The father said: “We now have seven boys and three girls. She gave birth at seven months and seven weeks”  Mr Tsotetsi said.

In an interview a month ago before delivery, the now-mother of 12 said she was shocked to be informed she was giving birth to multiples. Tough pregnancy scan at the beginning of the year showed she was carrying sextuplets but further scans later showed she had octuplets.

The other two babies could not be detected during her gestation period as they were in the wrong tube.

“My pregnancy was tough at the beginning because I was mostly sick. I don’t feel the pain anymore, but it’s still a bit tough. I just pray for God to help me deliver all my children in a healthy condition,” she said in same interview.

Sithole, who already has 6-year-old twins, previously told the Pretoria News that her pregnancy was natural as she was not on fertility treatment.

Her excited husband said the babies born were seven boys and three girls adding that the birth of the children had left him emotional and happy.
